Start the thread somewhere in the center of the hook shank. Tie in four strands of peacock herl and wind it to the bend. Advance your thread up the front again.

Step 2.

Twist the herl and then wind it up 3/4 to the front of the hook. Leave a little space for the foam post. Cutt of the excess.

Step 3.

Know if you buy the pre made ones from Wapsi you will just grab one and tie it in. The length you want is a little past the bend of the hook. I also cut the foam at an angle on both sides. This will help you tie it in better and the back just gives it a nice look. You donít have to cut the back, but the front one is really important because of the way you tie it in.

Step 4.

Cut about 8 to 12 strands of flashabou and tie it in. Cut it to the same length as the foam or a little past it.

Step 5.

When you go to cutt the calf tail, get it as long as you can because you will need it when you go to tie it. measure it the same length as the post.

Step 6.

Tie in the rubber legs on each side of the hook shank. The legs will be fairly long so make sure cut them longer. Tie them in the center of the legs. You can trim them to your desired length after your finished with the fly.

Step 7.

Once you tied in your legs you are ready to wind the hackle forward. I do about four to five turns with each one. I donít grab both at once though. I like to wrap one and then the next one. It just makes a better profile with how the hackle will look like.

Step 8.

Whip finish the fly.

Presentation Tips: NOTE: I use this fly in high water and in fast riffles. Throw it in the riffles and when it gets to the tail out of the riffle try skating it. That's where you'll get a lot of your strikes. I have caught a lot of big fish on this fly. Also if it windy this fly will work just as well. Good luck!
